1. You've got a huge mac truck on your tail that wants to go faster and won't stop for your little toyota.
2. You've got a huge SUV on your tail that wants to go faster that won't stop for your little toyota 3. Your driving down a huge mountain and your brakes gave out because you were a dumb ass and thought it was a good idea to go exactly the speed limit.
You were doing so good with "You've", that "Your" totally took me by surprise. Anyway, the first 2 are the same, and the answer is, who the hell runs into your car because they "won't stop"? They will stop, they'll slow down and not hit you because they don't want to get in even more trouble for hitting another car. Even a little toyota. And if you're in a little toyota, in front of a MAC truck tail-gating you, you should be going as slow as possible so that if, for instance, the car in front of you explodes, the huge truck behind you has time to stop. Which it wouldn't if you were going faster. Of course, this is all moot on two-lane roads.
As for number 3, guess what, it's a "speed limit" not a "speed". You don't have to go exactly the speed limit, just under it. Your brakes will be getting more wear from stopping when you are going a high speed, and if you're going down a mountain, you shouldn't be going very fast anyway, so how about you just keep your speed between the speed limit and 50% of the speed limit? You've got a range, so you won't be applying brakes all the time, and you're going below the speed limit THE ENTIRE TIME.
Some smart ass will post "oh but what about minimum speed limits?" Well if there is a minimum speed limit then don't go below it, genius.
A lie? The only way to access the content is by hacking it, anyone who could do such a thing could just download porn off the internet. The "content" is not in the game, because you cannot access it within the bounds of the game. That it is contained in the game files may be significant, but is not relevant here.
Clearly the aim of DRM is to get in the way of distributing the information to unauthorized users, but not in the way of legitimate use. The perfect DRM is one that you don't even notice, which, obviously, is equivalent to no DRM at all. Thus, the limiting case is that DRM does not exist.
But of course, the user might notice that the machine is unusable, and therefore have the problem fixed. As it is now, there are no real negative aspects to having a zombie. If they became unusable, then that would be a negative aspect.
Actually, to my surprise, Linux has become quite cool recently. OS X is cool maybe in the sense that U2 is cool, and to most people I know it's just shiny BS.
Better features are already available for Firefox. Although you can, in most browsers, refuse cross-domain cookies, with the proper Firefox extensions you can: whitelist sites for cookie use, only store the cookies you want past the end of the session, and edit the cookies to expire when you want them to.
The http referer is not something you should depend on since users such as myself disable it for privacy reasons.
Cookies and URL session IDs are equally insecure and should both be limited by IP address to avoid such session theft. Both the cookie and the url session id are just as 'available for all to see'.
Now once elinks can do all these things as easily, it will be the best browser in existence.
Now, in this scenario, taxpayers fund the hanging of the first pully, for public use. But a company has a profit motive and wants to invest a little to get good results, so they use the first pully, climb a bit, and hang a new one. [Note: This metaphor encapsulates many of the dual-licensing schemes -- gpl & commercial use for proprietary product] They haven't paid back the taxpayers for their use of the pully.
If I am not mistaken, companies pay taxes themselves, so I think they have paid for the use of the pully.
If the first govt hung pully had NOT been free, the company would have had to pay -- and taxpayers aren't being passed those savings.
Why are they not? Any cost saved by the company using the gov. pully is reflected in the price of using the company pully. If it wasn't, a different company would come along and charge less than the first one.
In short, the marginal investment of climbing a few steps is nothing without the prior [free] public investment....and as such, they shouldn't be able to charge for them.
Sounds like most over-wired. I would hope they could allow students to connect for free with all they saved by running fiber only and no ethernet. They should have budgeted in for students to get all they need to connect though. I'd be annoyed if I had to buy more equipment to connect my machines there, only to accomodate bandwidth I'll never realistically utilize.
Case used to loan students equipment to connect to the network. In recent years they have implemented a policy that students must buy their own equipment which is pretty lame.
All this talk of 'sound-proof panels' and 'wearing headphones' is extraneous. We should attack the root of the problem, being that sound travels through air. Remove the air and you remove the problem.
1. You may not make or distribute copies of the Software, or electronically transfer the Software from one computer to another or over a network.
Downloading it from their servers would be an "electronic transfer" of the Software over a network. Therefore, both uploading and downloading violate the EULA.
I personally like the look much more than Winamp. I don't like the flashy, hard to use skins, I just want a list of music that I can play, a way to search through it, and to be able to configure whatever I want. Foobar2000 is by far the best audio player I have used for Windows, and almost the only thing I miss when I'm using Linux.
"The Achilles Heel of Bittorrent is that it can only transfer one file at a time, and the only way to download multiple files is to open multiple instances of Bittorrent, which drains upload speed, a precious commodity among home broadband users. Some work [kefro.st] is being done towards this goal but it currently deals with upload rates for individual downloads, and doesn't manage multiple downloads."
Try BT++ or Burst! both of which, I believe, can do all of this.
"I don't know about anyone else but I am sick of having incompetent drivers in high powered turbo sports cars trying to kill me and my family every time we venture on the road."
If they're trying to kill you, maybe it's better that they don't actually know how to drive.
I am not a lawyer, nor am I particularly familiar with the applicable laws, but I think it may very well be perfectly legal to use your card programmer to program cards, just not to buy stuff with other people's credit cards. In a similar manner, it should not be illegal to alter your cable modem, while it is illegal to steal bandwidth.

Then, after bandwidth fees, he will have negative money.

To be perfectly honest, we're not still hung up on the first sentence, because after we saw it, we skipped straight to the next post.

Nah, he overclocked it to a 486, we think it'll work.

They are recommendations, not requirements. They've had the fiber for 15 years.

Then by the grandparent's logic, either: A) The law is not being enforced strictly. B) The law is not a bad law.

Strange, it's free at my college and there are many Linux users and a LUG. By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense.
